Boots Riley sez “organize the Pyongyang Sephora”

Manosphere? Why are you, as a man, in a sphere?

Rewatched My Cousin Vinny last night because I needed something light and fun and one thing I really love about it is that it’s one of the few stories about a city boy going to a rural town that isn’t about how he learns to appreciate the simple life, but rather how small towns are fucking obnoxious

i want to float around in a pool and decide who lives and who dies

“so what’s your take?” “the city of New York must pay me $1 million cash in the next hour and I will kill one person for every minute they are late” “100% disagree”

"create home cooked meals" is how you would pad "making a sandwich" on a resume

There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world.

DSA congratulates our comrade Robert Levertis Bell on winning his election to the Kentucky House of Representatives. Robert is a public school teacher, the former co-chair of @dsa-louisville.bsky.social, and the only socialist in the Kentucky State House (for now!)

Four orders of hash browns, some fruit and a cup of coffee

ELON: christopher nolin is desocrating Homer the Odyssey just to qualify for woke oscars award.. only thing he care is industy clout CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (looking at a bunch of clocks he's modified so they're all going at different speeds): haha yes.... hell yeah...

If Victor Lazslo were alive today he would be a member of the Bread and Roses Caucus

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

Getting kind of tired of self-styled serious people confidently asserting that data centre water use is a made up issue.

He's in the Black Lodge

Sorry but if you want to have political influence you need to get out of your left-wing bubble on Bluesky and start converting eight year olds to Marxism on Roblox

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

there’s probably a (somewhat boring) discussion to be had about how the fact that podcasts now require video production and preferably high production values has erased a lot of the accessibility that made the medium interesting and skewed yet another avenue towards the camera-ready and rich

1 thing to think about: the push for podcasts to have video is mostly coming from the top & it’s to get eyeballs *away* from tv where crews/writers that produce actually watchable stuff have union protection. No sane listener was like “I need to see the smelly, shut-in hosts of my Jonestown podcast”

I feel insane because I’m actively rooting for the economy to crash and ruin all of our lives to prove that actions have consequences which feels like trying to confirm that gravity exists by dropping an anvil on myself

@bristolmyerssquibb.bsky.social I will pay you $100 for rights to Elaine May's 1972 film The Heartbreak Kid, which you own and apparently do nothing with

Last One Laughing in the US would struggle from our lack of a monoculture; you’d need comedians who actually have enough in common comedically to be at risk of laughing at each other’s bits

Nothing can prepare you for who's singing this National Anthem (via lpaulfranklin / TT)

every Christmas i develop an acute case of Santavirus!!

Can this be the solution?

Love just trying to decipher whether we're at war according to insider trading like the characters in Banshees of Inisherin listening to the gunfire on the mainland

a carnival shooting gallery in hell full of people who think they’re heroes who did something inspiring when in fact we remember them as either monsters, clowns, or monster clowns, but whose defining trait is their belief in their right to have everything they want, fuck whoever gets in the way

I sometimes feel that “Assassins” - which is nominally about shooting a President but really about America as a place where violence is a shortcut to fame - is the piece of media which most directly prophesied the Trump presidency. he’s their perfect heir except he destroyed the office and not a guy

It’s May Day, International Workers Day, where we celebrate and engage in worker struggle to build working class power. Get your ass off the internet and out into the streets.

happy may day! every right you have as a worker was written in blood ❤️

ALIKE IN DIGNITY

I haven’t given any $ to a Democratic campaign in years. Haven’t felt they’d know what to do with it. I could however see giving to candidates who explicitly map out how they’d destroy the Supreme Court.

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

"You hear theyre using chickens as camera gimbals now?" "What?" "Chickens. Strap a camera onto their head. No shake. Chicken camera gimbals"

This guy was given a third of a billion dollars to curate a story specifically for him and came up with The Electric State, which should disprove the premise in its entirety

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

What distinguishes a formal apology from an informal one, journalistically speaking?

PAYPHONE - You're not a revolutionary, Harry... You're drunk.

Wow crazy it seems like AI is primarily and intentionally a tool to discipline labor

Ishtar is a gem, David Puttnam will never be forgiven

If you called her "the goat," I think you'd get one of the most withering staredowns in history. But the truth is the truth. Happy 94th to Elaine May. Long may she reign!

I also hate the argument that this rhetoric makes workers seem more valuable than people who cannot work - this is an argument about political power, not an argument about worth

people think if u frame labor as the central issue it's because you think the problems of labor exploitation are worse than all the other problems instead of that changing labor is the only way to change ANY of the problems

it's literally just "the one lever we have to actually exert pressure on society is through our labor" but ppl are like "why are you racist" or "why do you hate entrepreneurs" if u say it
